Ravi Shankar is a world-renowned Indian sitar player, and Norah Jones is a Grammy Award winning artist. (She won 8 awards this year)

She's his bastard child! :Q

Ravi Shankar was also a significant influence on the Beatles, I believe they ran across him in India & remained friends with him over the years...

 

[alkemyst]

A lot of today's singers, actors are riding on the coattails/apronstrings of their parents, yet want to do it under their own identity.

 

[Ameesh]

Ravi Shankar is also a music professor at UC San Diego

 

[kermalou]

that was a great article...

 

[Megatomic]

I can sum it up with one wordlette:


meh

 

[dabuddha]

I know the guy personally 🙂 Never had the chance to meet his daughters though

Last time I checked, Ravi Shankar's stuff isn't really played on FM Radio or played on TV. Guess it's just your loss 🙂

Good point. I didn't realize your sole source of information was either the Radio or the TV.

 

[Saulbadguy]

I've never heard of either of them. The only way I hear about news is people telling me things. Or here.

my former history of rock teacher learned to play sitar from ravi shankar🙂 he met george harrison through him.
